EWTN's Raymond Arroyo is hosting a daily program - Live From The Vatican, while in Italy to cover the Conclave. One of his guests today is the Communications Director at the Vatican. He asked her how the Cardinals had reacted to the turnout. She said they were overwhelmed by it and this has brought them much encouragement and confidence. It has given them much to ponder as they prepare for the Conclave. They recognize that whatever JPII did, he did it well and that they must select another to continue where he left off.

I know the church scrupilously looks into any proclaimed miracles. Do they require some sort of doctors proof (ie, proof the person had, say, a brain tumor, and then proof that it disappeared?) I am curious how the process works.
I am ever the skeptic, but as a Christian, I have to believe in miracles.

Thanks for letting us know.
I caught the Jim Caviezel interview earlier today; he was in Rome and attended the funeral. Simply wonderful human being who had a number of touching and funny stories of his interactions with the Pope.
Thank you so much for this thread. I only got a chance to see the last part of the encore presentation. I wish it could be repeated again.
